Solved it!!! Thanks

This is what I did (using your instructions)

- Start up your Mac in recovery mode (follow procedure for Apple silicon or Intel based Macs)

  • Select your User and Password
  • On the top menu, go to Utilities>Terminal
  • Disable SIP by entering “csrutil disable” at the prompt
  • Type “Reboot” at the prompt

Delete the following files
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.uuidcache.plist
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome
~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist

Reboot

Relaunch Chrome and make sure you are prompted:
“Allow Chrome to find devices on local networks?”

Make sure to ANSWER “ALLOW” !!!

If not prompted, force Chrome to do so:

  • Go to “chrome://flags”
  • In search bar type: "local-network-access-check
  • Find “Local Network Access Checks” and set flag to “Enabled (Blocking)”
  • Relaunch browser.

-Go to Apple Logo>System Settings>Privacy & Security>Local Network
Check that Local Network is clean with a single entry
-Shutdown and start up Mac in recovery mode again

-In Terminal, Enable SIP by entering “csrutil enable” at the prompt
-Type “Reboot” at the prompt
